It has to do with the vpos field (which is in milli-somethings ...)

Bands are objtype=9, with different objcode values based on what type of band.
The vpos field shows the height of these.

The vpos field for objects shows their relative position from the very top.

So if a textbox (objtype=8) is at 9700, and band 1 is 7500 and band 2 is 5000, the the textbox is somewhere in the 2nd band : 7500+5000=12500.

I believe the vpos for controls also includes the gray band bar's height, so that needs to be taken into consideration.
